Governor Rauner is apologizing for comments he made about Chicago educators before he took office. Emails released yesterday by Mayor Emanuel’s administration show that Rauner once called half of CPS teachers “virtually illiterate” and half of the principals “incompetent.” The governor sent the email in 2011 when he was a private money manager and a school reform activist. The documents were released by City Hall under a court order following a request made by the “Chicago Tribune.”
